This chart is a classroom aid for Defense
Acquisition University students. It provides a
notional illustration of interfaces among three
major decision support systems used to develop,
produce and field a weapon system for national
defense. Defense acquisition is a complex process
with many more activities than shown here and
many concurrent activities that cannot be
displayed on a two-dimensional chart. Supporting
information is on back of this chart. For more
information, see the Acquisition, Technology, and
Logistics Knowledge Sharing System
(http//akss.dau.mil).
Following the Materiel Development Decision, the
Milestone Decision Authority may authorize entry
into the acquisition process at any point,
consistent with phase-specific entrance criteria
and statutory requirements

Develop a system or increment of capability
complete full system integration, develop
affordable and executable manufacturing process
ensure operational supportability reduce
logistics footprint implement human systems
integration design for producibility ensure
affordability protect critical program
information and demonstrate system integration,
interoperability, safety, and utility.
Achieve operational capability that satisfies
mission needs. Low-rate initial production
(limited deployment for software intensive
systems with no development hardware) and
full-rate production (full deployment for
software intensive systems). Deliver fully
funded quantity of systems and supporting
material and services for program or increment to
users.
Execute support program that meets materiel
readiness and operational support performance
requirements and sustains system in most
cost-effective manner. Overlaps Production and
Deployment Phase.
Complete Analysis of Alternatives to assess
potential materiel solutions to capability need,
identify key technologies and estimate life cycle
costs. Consider commercial-off-the-shelf and
solutions from both large and small business.
Identify materiel solution to capability need.
Complete Technology Development Strategy.
Reduce technology risk, determine and mature
appropriate set of technologies to integrate into
full system, demonstrate critical technology
elements on prototypes, and complete preliminary
design. Identify an affordable program or
increment of militarily useful capability,
demonstrate technology in relevant environment,
and identify and assess manufacturing risks.
Provide for two or more competing teams producing
prototypes of system and/or key system elements
prior to or through Milestone B.
